Why does my Carrier 33CS250-01 only allow Heat or Off modes in 2-pipe installations?

If your Carrier Thermostat only allows Heat or Off modes in 2-pipe installations, even when chilled water is available, the changeover sensor may be faulty, improperly wired, or improperly installed. To resolve this: * Confirm proper wiring and placement of the changeover sensor. * If wiring and placement are correct, check the changeover sensor with an ohmmeter: 1. Remove power from the fan coil system. 2. Disconnect wiring between the sensor and the thermostat. 3. Place an ohmmeter between R and the wire just disconnected from the thermostat. 4. The sensor should show continuity whenever the water temperature is at or below 65 F. If the sensor is open when the water temperature is at or below 65 F, replace the sensor.
